Hornsby Heights train - ride - walk : October 20 2025

avatar

Got a warm day lining up. Had an idea for a train - ride - walk. Did not work out to plan. Plan B - train and them ride to walk Hornsby Heights - 3 orchids in mind

Took a different to normal - perfect chance to get a photo of namesake street named after the first G-G of NSW

Took a loop road around a reserve not walked before. Walked it - no orchids. Did find a seeded orchid on the loop out - probably a bearded orchid. Always good to find an orchid in a new place - always hopeful

Hopeville maybe

Got to the Outlook FT in Berowra Valley NP - parks have trashed the edges wiith their track work

A few trigger flowers triggered

Grey spider grevillea - not really grey but they are woolly

Did find a budding cryptostylis orchid - their season is coming

Leptospermum squarrosum - normally a magnet for bugs. Not this time

Yellow starburst - my name

Did find the snake orchid I was after. I found it a few seasons ago a long way down the single track that drops down to the creek

Only one flower spike. They normally grow on scribbly gums - not this one

Close up - cymbidium suave - snake orchid

Another budding cryptostylis - a cluster of a few plants in one spot

Bud close up

Seeded sun orchid on the way back up the hill

Slender rice flower

Yellow pea flower

Looks like this orchid will not be seeding - a bug has drilled in and eaten the seeds

Pale flax lily. Flower is superb tiny - first for the season

First of the purple fan flowers for the season - just one

Corea always presents a photography challenge - subject is narrow - this one partly in shade did give some interesting shading. Hairy they are

A side by side version - one drying out and one starting out

A cluster of budding cryptostylis subulata in a known spot

Tiny lobelia right where the bike was parked is also a new season show

Decided to ride back to Asquith station and get train from there. Always a bit quieter from there compared to Hornsby

Did get to snap one of the new Newcastle trains passing through

Friend over for dinner - made chicken cacciatore

    We have to take some time out of our busy daily routine for ourselves so that our mind can relax and we can live our lives happily. I also try to find beautiful flowers in a beautiful place and go there and create my post. You have just made the pictures beautiful with a lot of effort.
